Posted by Henry on September 3, 2007, 9:40 pm What I'm wondering is, do groups offer AAs the same kind of deals? Is it standard to do so? Because, if this is the standard, I'm going to work a 4 weekend shifts per month! Do the math: if I were to work a shift every weekend (say, every Sunday of the month), that would be an extra $4,000/month. $4,000/month X 12 months is $48,000; in other words, almost $50,000 more per year! If I was to sign on right out of AA school with a good private group for $150k/year, that would easily push my yearly income to $200,000/year. That's not even considering the extra hour or two of overtime I would be putting in during the week. So, for those of you who are currently AAs -- is it common to be offered a seriously inflated pay-rate to do weekend shifts?

I noticed on Gaswork.com that a number of anesthesia groups will offer CRNAs significantly higher salaries to do weekend shifts. For example, I recall viewing a job post in which the group offered around $1,000 for every 8 hour weekend shift on the maternity ward (I think). It might have been even more than that.
